Rush, Leslie S.; Blair, Sandra H.; Chapman, David; Codner, Andrew; Pearce, Becky
Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, v81 n3 p128-132 Jan-Feb 2008
In this article, two in-service English teachers and two preservice English teachers, who participated in a shared mentoring relationship during the student-teaching semester, share their experiences, conflicts, and how they were resolved. The authors provide first-person narratives of all four teachers and suggestions for improving mentoring experiences for both mentor teachers and student teachers. Important issues addressed include territoriality of classroom spaces, students, decision making, and time. The authors provide suggestions for improving communication, use of shared spaces, and planning.
